This is interesting. I noticed a very similar effect with my Agfa Isolettes, which are scale focused cameras. I discovered it while attempting to set infinity and close focus using a ground glass .

You can read about it in this thread:

So...if there is focus shift due to spherical aberrations wide open, what is the correct aperture to use while setting the focus on a scale focused camera? Where in the image should the sharpness be judged while setting the focus--middle, corner, halfway?
